Parents, some of you might be wondering why your students have not been blogging these past few weeks. After discussing the importance of producing a polished product and thoughtful comments, students were still using lots of text lingo and incorrect language on the blog.
We used a day last week (instead of going to the computer lab) to analyze how we could use the blogs. Each class made resolutions, and I think they're ready to use the blogs more meaningfully! The students voiced valid concerns about embarrassing themselves or turning the blogs into a popularity contest, so we came up with some solutions.
Students are always welcome to blog from home, which was a question they had. Our blogs are still a work in progress, but we're learning, growing, and thinking more as we continue!
Students answered questions in pods and chose the best advice their peers had to offer to share.
Each class generated a set of resolutions, which are hanging on the wall.
I was impressed with the mature, introspective thoughts students generated.
Great goals will guide us forward.
